@Flemming-Richter @Kit-Bishop I second this as well!
I'm still waiting to use iptables kmods, so I can implement my networking project.
Having the ability to use any OpenWRT module would provide an immense additional value to Omega and Omega2 (after November)
This is a known issue if you search the forums. kmods cannot be installed on Onion firmware as Onion has not published sources, except for a few kmods they have compiled themselves.
If you want to install other kmods you need to install a stock LEDE firmware (or the customized one from WereCatf). The problem there is that WiFi driver is still being developed resulting in slowness and reliability issues.
Thanks @Luciano-S.
Any thoughts on the question @Keith-Howell is asking?
Is it in fact possible to build a standard OpenWRT image?
I have backed Omega2 Plus as I think it is a big step up from the current Omega, however without having the ability to load standard OpenWRT modules it will be severely limited in functionality.
@Colin-Hogben we've been asking for a very long time for the .config file. I faced your issues with a networking related kmod and just gave up. Other members have also faced issues with other kmods. Despite calls for open sourcing the project, as promised (see below), there is still no word from @Lazar-Demin or the Onion team
from their kickstarter campaign:

Ω Open Source
We are strong believers of open source and we strive to give back to the open source community. All hardware schematics, board design, and bill of materials will be made available to the community. In addition, the operating system and other system software on the Omega, as well as an API compatible version of the Onion Cloud, will be open sourced. Communications between the Omega and the Onion Cloud use open standards, which will allow you to hack and customize your Omega to your heart’s content.
Seems the wifimanager process is the culprit for high CPU usage and Omega2 getting very hot (as reported by others).
In my omega it was constantly using over 95% CPU (see attached) and the omega LED kept blinking.
Disabled it from starting in /etc/init.d and now Omega runs cool. LED is also steady.
